Seller's Insight

What are the neighbours like? Most of the neighbours roam around and eat grass. The human kind are quiet and keep to themselves. We do have a WhatsApp group to update each other. What attracted you to this specific house and location? My first sighting of coming under the railway on a snowy day reminded me of Narnia. I just love the rolling hills and the view from nearly all the windows and garden. The house has been a labour of love bringing her alive again. What made you choose this property over the others that were available at the time? I fell in love with the views and the sounds of nature. I was also excited about the idea of taking on the project to bring the old tired building alive again and landscaping the garden.

The whole garden has been landscaped to make it accessible throughout including planting fruit trees and (truncated)
